Yeah…okay.

The “criminal referral” by the Committee to the DOJ is an empty gesture.
Congress has no constitutional authority to recommend prosecution of anybody.
Per the below:

“ The committee investigating Jan. 6 may have referred former President Donald Trump to the Justice Department for potential prosecution, but it's unconstitutional for members of Congress to recommend prosecution for anyone, making the committee's determination a "worthless piece of paper," Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said on Newsmax, Monday.

Is anyone surprised? The “criminal referral” was a forgone conclusion, regardless of any testimony before the committee.

Yes. It is. I was being facetious in my post. It means nothing. If they are going to charge him, they would have done it with or without the referral. If they weren't going to charge him, the referral will not make them change their minds.

Yes, but it’s nice to be the first president to have one.
MAGA and all that.

Unless it's meaningless.

In which case it's...meaningless.

I realized the sarcasm font. Well done!
I also thought yours was the most appropriate post to attach my comment to.
